Kane has been suspended for the entire regular season due to a violation of the NHL's Covid protocols, but only until November. That means Kane can return to the NHL in a few days, but there's reason to believe the San Jose Sharks don't want him back.
From Brooks:
There is credible chatter reaching Slap Shots that an Eastern Conference team has shown considerable interest in dealing for Evander Kane, the Sharks winger who on Nov. 30 is due to come off his 21-game suspension for violating NHL/NHLPA COVID-19 protocols, and no, it's not the Rangers.
Kane's current contract pays him an average of $7 million per season, a hefty cap hit for any team in today's NHL. Brooks believes the Sharks are willing to keep up to half of that, the maximum allowed under the current CBA, to make the trade happen. With a cap hit of only $3.5 million, Evander Kane may not be so bad.
